The terms in question don't even mention quality issues. The argument is about the unclear copyright status of generated code. Also malware risk.

I don't understand the copyright issue. In many jurisdictions it's already established that AI produced content of any type attaches no copyright. The only copyright which is created comes from human manipulation of said AI content.

Many jurisdictions aren’t built around case law, and judges tend to focus on their own personal interpretation of written legislation instead of focusing on precedents. It can therefore take many more years until legal consensus forms on a given issue.

So I can see why e.g. a German institution would choose act more conservatively than one from countries with a background in common law.

Yes, of course. It's really interesting to see how there is such a disparity in copyright legislation worldwide. This confusion is likely to continue, as you say, for quite a while. At least until a more standardized recognition of copyright issues relating to AI emerges through global consensus.
